BACKGROUND

The present disclosure relates to a ground blind, and more particularly,to a foldable ground blind configured for hunting birds.

Ground blinds are commonly used by hunters or other outdoorsman toconceal themselves and their movements from the observation of wildanimals. Specifically, ground blinds are used by hunters and otheroutdoorsman to avoid scaring away wild animals. Typically, a hunter orother outdoorsman sits within or behind a ground blind that iscamouflaged on its outer surface to blend in with the surroundingenvironment. Ground blinds can be used for a variety of purposes, suchas hunting wild animals, viewing wild animals, and photography ofwildlife. No matter the use, it is desirable that the ground blind belightweight, portable, and easy to assemble/disassemble.

There are many different styles of ground blinds that have been madethat are lightweight, portable, and easy to assemble/dissemble. One suchground blind is a hub style ground blind, which typically consists of acanvas cover and a hub assembly making up each wall of the ground blind.Each hub assembly includes flexible rods extending from a center hub tothe corners of the canvas cover. When the ground blind is in an openposition the hub assembly is inverted into a concave orientation,creating tension in the canvas cover and holding each wall in place. Hubstyle ground blinds are typically made from 2 or more hub assembliesattached to one another, with each hub assembly constituting a singlewall of the ground blind.

Typical hub style ground blinds are not configured to allow a hunter toeffectively and safely hunt birds. Therefore, there is a need forimprovement in the art of ground blinds such that the ground blind isconfigured to be suitable for safely and effectively hunting birds.

Rod pockets 36A-36Dsecurely hold rods 30A-30D when in both the setup and collapsedconfigurations of foldable blind 10. When transitioning from thecollapsed configuration to the setup configuration, pressure is appliedto hub 28 from the inside of foldable blind 10 causing rods 30A-30D torotate outward approximately ninety degrees with respect to hub 28.Further, the rotation causes rods 30A-30D to flex under pressure into aconcave configuration when viewing from the inside of foldable blind 10.With hub 28 and rod pockets 36A-36D securely holding rods 30A-30D, rods30A-30D will remain in the concave tensioned position and keep foldableblind 10 in the setup configuration. Rods 30A-30D will remain in theconcave position until a force overcomes the tension in rods 30A-30D,causing foldable blind 10 to fold into the collapsed configuration. Inthe embodiment shown, there are four rods 30A-30D but in otherembodiments there can be as many rods as desired. Rods 30A-30D providesupport and structure to foldable blind 10 while also being flexibleenough to bend under pressure. Loop 32 is attached to the center of hub28 and is configured to aid in the disassembly of foldable blind 10 fromthe setup configuration to the collapsed configuration. Loop 32 ispulled toward the inside of foldable blind 10 and away from outersurface 18B of front wall 18, causing rods 30A-30D to rotate and releasetension in rods 30A-30D. This allows foldable blind 10 to be furtherdisassembled into its collapsed configuration.

Transitioning foldable blind 10 from the collapsed configuration to thesetup configuration involves the following steps. (1) Stand foldableblind 10 on the corners of outside surface 18B of front wall 18. (2)Spread rods 30A-30D out wide so foldable blind 10 is still standing onthe corners of outside surface 18B, but in an expanded configuration.(3) Apply pressure to hub 28 from the inside of foldable blind 10,causing rods 30A-30D to rotate into a tensioned concave position whereinhub 28 and rod pockets 36A-36D securely hold rods 30A-30D in thetensioned concave position. (4) Rotate first side wall 20 and secondside wall 22 outward away from inner surface 18A of front wall 18. (5)Stand foldable blind on bottom edge 18C of front wall 18, bottom edge20C of first side wall 20, and bottom edge 22C of second side wall 22 sofoldable blind 10 is standing in the upright position. (6) Loosen firstclamp 48 of first side wall 20 and second clamp 58 of second side wall22. (7) Extend first side support 42 and second side support 52 from theshortened position to the extended position. (8) Tighten first clamp 48of first side wall 20 and second clamp 58 of second side wall 22. (9)Foldable blind 10 is now in the setup configuration, ready to be used bya hunter or other outdoorsman.

Foldable blind 10 provides many advantages for bird hunters overprevious foldable blinds. Foldable blind 10 includes a single hubassembly 14 to provide structure and support to foldable blind 10. Usinga single hub assembly 14 reduces the weight of foldable blind 10, makingfoldable blind 10 easier to transport than previous foldable blinds thatuse multiple hub assemblies.
